Two remarkable new cantharid species were described, Prothemus laticornis sp. n. (CHINA: Yunnan) and P. lycoceroides sp. n. (THAILAND: Chiang Dao), and provided with illustrations of aedeagi, ultimate abdominal sternites and antennae of both sexes. Their systematic status was discussed, because they differed from all other species of Prothemus in the serrate antennae and elytra with distinct longitudinal costae and longer pubescence.
